- Inductive plethysmography means herein measurement of a cross-sectional area of the body by determining the self-inductance of a flexible conductor closely encircling the area to be measured. Since the inductance of a substantially planar conductive loop is well known to vary as, inter alia, the cross-sectional area of the loop, a inductance measurement may be converted into a plethysmographic area determination. Varying loop inductance may be measured by techniques known in the art, such as, e.g ., by connecting the loop as the inductance in a variable frequency LC oscillator, the frequency of the oscillator then varying with the cross-sectional area of the loop inductance varies. Oscillator frequency is converted into a digital value, which is then further processed to yield the physiological parameters of interest.
- a flexible conductor measuring a cross-sectional area of the body is closely looped around the area of the body so that the inductance, and the changes in inductance, being measured results from magnetic flux through the cross-sectional area being measured.
- the inductance thus depends directly on the cross-sectional area being measured, and not indirectly on an area which changes as a result of the factors changing the measured cross-sectional area.
- pulmonary function parameters such as respiration volumes and rates and apneas and their types, may be determined from measurements of, at least, a chest transverse cross-sectional area and preferably also and an abdominal transverse cross-sectional area (and optionally further cross-sectional areas).
- Cardiac parameters such central venous pressure, left and right ventricular volumes waveforms, and aortic and carotid artery pressure waveforms, may be extracted from repetitive measurements of transverse cross-sectional areas of the neck and of the chest passing through the heart. See, e.g., the '277, '540, '151 Patents. At least, the cross-sectional of a plane at about the position of the xiphoid process is measured. In order to easily extract cardiac data from variations in these cross-sectional areas, it is helpful to have concurrent measurements of cardiac timing, especially of the onset of left ventricular contraction. Timing measurements are preferably obtained from concurrent ECG measurements, and less preferably from the carotid pulse signal present in the neck.
- Ventricular wall ischemia is known to result in paradoxical wall motion during ventricular contraction (the ischemic segment paradoxically "balloons" outward instead of normally contracting inward).
- Such paradoxical wall motion, and thus indications of cardiac ischemia may be extracted from chest transverse cross-section area measurements.
- Left or right ventricular ischemia may be distinguished where paradoxical motion is seen predominantly in left or right ventricular waveforms, respectively.
- observations of the onset of contraction in the left and right ventricles separately may be of use in providing feedback to bi-ventricular cardiac pacing devices.
- pulse oximetry determines hemoglobin saturation by measuring the changing infrared optical properties of a finger. This signal may be disambiguated and combined with pulmonary data to yield improved information concerning lung function. See, e.g ., the '425 Patent.
- Measurement accuracies may be determined from known electronic circuit laws combined with measured bodily displacements resulting from the physiological events being monitored. Measurement accuracies may also be simply determined from observation of particular measurement configuration. Using either approach, it has been determined that respiratory activity generally leads to frequency changes of 500-1000 ppm (parts per million). Cardiac activity generally leads to frequency changes of 50-100 ppm. Therefore, for monitoring both respiratory and cardiac activities, it is most preferably frequency measurements have an accuracy of less than 1-2 ppm, preferably less than 5 ppm, and less preferably less than 10 ppm (and at least less than 100 ppm).
- respiratory activity is preferably measured at approximately 50 Hz or more; cardiac activity (including cross-sectional areas and any accompanying ECG) preferably at approximately 200 Hz or more, and vascular activity (such as arterial or venous pulsation) preferably at 100 Hz or more.
- monitoring tasks may require higher accuracies or rates, or may permit reduced accuracies or rates.
- Appropriate accuracies and rates may be easily determined by one of skill in the art in view of the monitoring task.
- Fig. 9 illustrates an embodiment of the monitoring apparatus present invention for monitoring basic pulmonary and cardiac parameters in an ambulatory setting of daily activity with minimum encumbrance to the individual being monitored and in an economical manner.
- This apparatus includes monitoring garment 1, sensor cabling 2, and microprocessor unit 3.

Modifications of this garment so that it will appropriate for a male with a trimmer habitus, or for females of various habituses will be readily apparent to one of skill in the art.

- the garment has cutouts 12 for attaching ECG electrodes and ECG leads 10 (approximating right arm signals) and 11 (approximating left arm signals) and 12 (approximating left leg signals).
- sensor bands 4 and 6 or sensor band 5 may be eliminated, or optional sensor band 7 may not be present, or additional sensor bands may be present, or so forth.
- signals from all the sensors mounted on or with the garment are conducted to external microprocessor unit 3 via signal cable 2.
- Signal cable 2 is extended by optional signal cable 13 to conduct signals from optional neck band 7.
- Connections between signal cable 2 and the various sensors reside underneath openable flap 18, which both protects the connections and any electronic modules closely associated with the sensors from disruption or damage and also presents a more aesthetic surface appearance.
- the signal cable may be attached to the garment by several snaps positioned or the like, associated electronic modules may be carried in pockets of the garment, and connections firmly held in place by mechanical means. Other manners for protectively securing the signal cable will be apparent to one of skill in the art and are within the scope of the present invention.

- the garment may be arranged for placement and removal over the head in one piece.
- a zipper or other fastening devices may be used, for example, a plurality of buttons and buttonholes, or a plurality of loops fitting into grommets, or a plurality of ties, or a zipper-like device with halves fitting together continuously instead of by a plurality of teeth. More than one zipper may also be used.
- IP sensor bands 4, 5, 6, and 7 and the garment 1 itself preferably include several functional or structural elements to meet several conditions advantageous for good signal quality.
- the sensor bands include the sensors themselves, which are conductor loops around the body in the substantially transverse planes whose cross-sectional area is to be measured. Since the bands should remain in close circumferential contact to the torso (of the body of the individual to be monitored) in order to accurately sense cross-section areas that change during activity; the conductor should be longitudinally flexible to accommodate normal physiological movements. Further, to achieve sufficient measurement accuracy and rate, the LC circuit containing the conductor loop must have a sufficiently high Q factor.
- the conductors preferably have a resistance of less than approximately 1 ⁇ (Ohm). Any flexible low-resistance conductor may be used.
- the conductor is metallic wire, sinusoidally arranged for expansion and contraction without hindrance of the cross sectional area to inductance relationship.
- the sinusoidal wire arrangement may have an "amplitude" of 1 to 2 cm with "wavelength” adequate to provide for longitudinal flexibility sufficient to accommodate anticipated activity.
- the sensor bands also include an elastic material providing longitudinal elasticity sufficient to retain the band against the body.
- the bands may include a longitudinally arranged strip of elastic material similar to that in elastic bandages well known in the art.
- the sensor conductors may attached by a plurality of distinct connections, which may be sewn loops of thread.
- the bands may include a woven or knitted elastic material into which sinusoidally arranged copper wire is integrally included during the weaving or knitting process. See, e.g ., U.S. patent application serial no. 09/774,333, filed Jan. 31,2001, and assigned to the assignee of the present application (included by reference herein in its entirety for all purposes).
- the sensor conductor may be attached to underlying material of other ways known in the art, for example, by glue.
- the bands should not move inferiorly or superiorly (collectively, longitudinally) over the surface of the torso of body, in other words, be longitudinally stable, during normal daily activities. This is advantageous so that signals from each band are responsive only to the one intended cross-sectional area.
- the elasticity that keeps bands in close circumferential contact may be sufficient to achieve longitudinal stability.
- this circumferential elasticity may not be sufficient for longitudinal stability.
- each band is also equipped with an individual tightening device 8, which permits individual adjustment of the tightness of each band as needed.
- One such tightening means schematically illustrated by tightening device 8, is a gripping device in which metal or plastic teeth or paired rings grip excess material 8 attached to the band. Pulling excess material so that the gripping device holds the excess material under tension will tighten a band, while release of the mechanism (e.g., rings or teeth) of the gripping device loosens the bands for undressing.
- the bands can be individually adjusted to a tightness discovered to be sufficient after an initial period of monitoring garment use.
- the bands may be loosened or released in preparation for undressing.
- the "excess" material and gripping device form a cinch (also know as a girth) in that the "excess" material is part of a band of material circling the patient included as part of the inductive plethysmographic sensor band assembly.
- Alternative tightening means include belt-buckle-like arrangements, with a tooth for protruding through one of plurality of holes in the excess material, or a slidable spring-loaded device that grips the excess material against a grommet as used in a drawstring, or simply a bow-type knot used like a shoe lace, or other gripping means.
- Any cinch or girth material must of course also be elastic, but preferably stiffer (less elastic) than existing sensor band material.
- One aspect of longitudinal stability is that during activity the garment material itself may pull on the bands causing mechanical coupling both of a band sensor to a more extended longitudinal region than intended and also between adjacent, separate band sensors. This coupling may mix decrease signal specificity, and may mix together signals from the so-coupled sensors leading to decreased accuracy of physiological parameter determination, or even an inability to determine certain parameters. Therefore, it may be advantageous for the garment material between the sensor bands not to be tight, but rather have an excess sufficient to accommodate longitudinal stretching and other longitudinal motions that accompany activities of all expected degrees of strenuousness. (For example, such excess material may be present in regions 19 of garment 1 of Fig.
- the garment material may be sufficiently stretchable in a longitudinal and the bands sufficiently elastic to be circumferentially tight, or synched to be sufficiently tight, so that longitudinal motions are accommodated mainly by stretching of the garment with little or no longitudinal band movement with respect to the torso.
- the bands may be combined so that the garment between the bands has some excess of an elastic material.
- care must be taken to prevent longitudinal mechanical coupling occurring, especially for individuals of larger body types relative to the garment size and cut.
- IP inductive plethysmographic
- the garment fasteners should be arranged such that, when the garment is fastened, circumferential band elasticity is established even though elastic in the sensor bands is necessarily interrupted at the garment division.
- zippers this is easily achieved because of the substantially continuous nature of a zipper fastener.
- any band tightening devices must also cooperate with the garment fasteners. With a cinch (or girth) held by a gripping device, this is easily achieved by allowing excess cinch to extend across the division in the garment.
- the conductive loop is interrupted at the garment division, and may bridge this division by equipping ends of the loop with mating pair of a plug and a connector. Alternatively, one or both ends of the conductor bands may plug into connectors carried on the signal cable (see below).
- One of skill in the art will readily be able to similarly arrange the IP sensor bands for cooperation with other types of garment fasteners.
- additional sensors may be incorporated with monitoring apparatus of the present invention.
- information from which the posture of the patient can be determined it is advantageous to have information from which the posture of the patient can be determined. At least, it is useful to determine if the monitored individual is lying, sitting, or standing, and if standing, whether still, walking, or running.
- this information is provided by accelerometers that measure orientation with respect to gravity.
- the apparatus illustrated in Fig.1 preferably includes an accelerometer attached to garment 1, optionally by being integrated into an electronic module associated with one of the band sensors. Such a single sensor can provide only the orientation of the torso. Further information may be provided by optional accelerometers strapped to one or both thighs. Signals from these additional accelerometers may be conducted to signal cable 2 by means of secondary cables 14, which attach to the signal cable at connector 15.
- any transdermal sensor may be incorporated into the illustrated monitoring apparatus.
- Such sensors may include pulse oximeters, which measure hemoglobin saturation in a finger, blood pressure sensors of various types, transdermal sensors indicative of blood chemistry, for example, blood glucose sensors or sweat electrolyte sensors, and so forth. Signals from these sensors may reach microprocessor module 17 over signal cable 16.
- these sensors will present a standard interface to the microprocessor module, for example an RS-232 or more modern serial interface. Further, it may be advantageous to obtain more complete ECG information, such as by receiving signals from 7 or 12 leads placed in manners well known in the art.
- a further additional sensor may be a throat microphone, which is useful for detecting snoring during sleep and talking during wakefulness, Detection of snoring during sleep is a valuable indication of incipient or actual upper airway obstruction useful in sleep apnea studies.
- the microprocessor module may accumulate information reflecting a broad array of transdermally measurable physiological parameters in a scandalized ???manner and in a standardized format.
- Fig. 1 illustrates primary signal cable 2 which carries signals from the primary sensor bands 4, 5, and 6, and secondary sensor band 7.
- This cable also has provision for carrying ECG signals, provided, for example, over leads 10 and 11, and provision for signals from other sensors received at connector 15.
- secondary signal cable 16 may optionally carry signals from a number of other sensors arranged on the body.
- Unit 3 performs at least basic data entry and storage functions, and optionally performs alarm functions, communication functions, and power management functions.
- the unit may be built as an add-on to existing personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, cell phone/PDA combinations, bidirectional pagers, especially those used for e-mail exchange, and other similar handheld devices.
- PDAs personal digital assistants
- the unit may be a custom design including at least a microprocessor and associated components, and optionally signal processor circuits.
- unit 3 has display screen 17 which is touch sensitive for data input by the monitored individual. Other user interface features may be provided, such as voice command recognition, voice or audible alarm output, attachable keyboard, and so forth.
- This unit may also optionally include wireless communication circuits.
- a first data entry function is to receive and store information input by a monitored individual.
- a monitored individual may enter major activities during the day along with any symptoms that might be observed.
- a second data entry and storage function to receive and store digitized signals generated by the sensors of a monitoring apparatus of this invention, is closely linked with possible communication functions.
- the present invention conforms to well known standards for "standard event recording" by advantageously and preferably storing all raw signal data, whether or not it is used only in summary form for health care personnel. Storing raw data in a central repository is encouraged by regulatory authorities, and is important in quality control of monitoring by the present invention. Further, health care personnel may from time-to-time wish to examine the raw data indicative of the physiological events occurring in the monitored individual, which is possible by accessing the central repository.
- Table I presents the data rates generated by the apparatus of Fig. 1 wherein operation is with preferred sample precision and data rate for each sensor.
- the present invention includes various tradeoffs for the storage or raw data, which depend primarily on available battery power and accessible wireless facilities. For example, if high bandwidth wireless data transfer, for example 64 kbits/sec or greater, is available throughout an individual's daily activities, currently (as of this application's filing date) an unusual possibility, then wireless transmission of all raw data would require an apparatus transmitter duty cycle of 2% or less, which may be acceptable in view of available device battery power and the cost of wireless access. On the other hand, wireless access currently available supports data transmission rates at best of 14.4 kbits/sec. At these rates the apparatus transmitter would have a virtually 100% duty cycle, which is likely to be an unacceptable power and wireless access cost.
- data may be stored locally in microprocessor unit 3 and transmitted periodically only in bulk.
- a commonly available 64 MB flash memory module may easily store raw data for 12 or more hours.
- a 128 MB module could hold 24 hours of data.
- a full flash memory module may be replaced and sent by overnight mail services to the central repository.
- the data may be sent by high-speed wired digital connection (e.g., DSL or cable modem to internet) directly to the central repository.
- Other removable memory technologies for example, micro-hard-drives or micro ZIP drives, may also be used.
- unit 3 may communicate wirelessly only important or significant physiological events, such as alarms recognized. This would be a much smaller amount of data easily transmitted currently in most locations.
- the present invention includes microprocessor unit designs from wireless transmission of all raw data to a central repository to local storage of all raw data with periodic transmission.
- the latter embodiment is currently preferred for most locations.
- a further data storage embodiment includes local, private wireless transmission of data from a microprocessor unit of a monitoring garment to a local receiver within a short distance, perhaps 10 to 1000 feet, of the individual being monitored. From the local receiver, the data may be stored at a local computer system, for example a PC-type computer, for periodic transmission to a central repository for access by health care providers.
- the periodic transmission may be via removable media a few times daily, as described above, or may be via standard or high speed access (DSL or cable modem) perhaps hourly.
- the central repository may be replaced by a local server PC-type computer accessed by health care providers.
- the microprocessor may compress the signal data prior to storage.
- This compression may be implemented in software encoding an appropriate known compression technique.
- An exemplary technique is to subtract a base carrier frequency from each frequence datum so that recorded frequency data are offset to have a substantially zero average frequency. Further, each offset frequency datum may be recorded as a difference with respect to one or more previous offset frequency data. Periodically, the current carrier frequency and a offset frequency datum may be recorded to synchronize decompression software.
- microprocessor unit 3 may optionally recognize alarm conditions and generation alarm signals, which are in all cases audible but may also involve screen-display of visual information.
- Alarm conditions recognizable by a microprocessor unit of average capabilities are of two basic types. The first type is a discrete temporal event. For example, heart rate increases suddenly to dangerous levels, or paradoxical wall motion is observed, or breathing slows or ceases dangerously.
- the second type of alarm condition is a trend progressing over one to a few hours. For example, in a congestive heart failure patient, over two hours an increasing respiratory rate, perhaps coupled with sustained cardiac rate changes, may signal early the onset of pulmonary edema. Similar changes may be alarmed for individuals at high altitude to warn early of dangerous forms of mountain sickness. Other discrete and trends that are known to those of skill in the art may also be alarmed.
- more powerful microprocessor units may recognize more complex alarm conditions, perhaps by employing artificial techniques such as neural networks or rule-based systems.
- power management is an important optional function which may be performed in the microprocessor unit.
- the various electronic modules and sensors that are included in a monitoring apparatus according to the present invention include power management facilities that provide reduced power consumption whenever a module or sensor is not in active use. For example, reduced power consumption may be commanded by control signals generated by the microprocessor unit.
- battery power may be physically a part of unit 3. Alternatively, a separate battery unit could be arranged, for example, in a pocket of garment 1.
- the non-invasive physiologic monitoring garment 30 comprise inductive plethysmographic sensors 20-25 which are embroidered, sewn, embedded, woven, printed onto or otherwise affixed to or carried on a garment 31 that is worn over and about the torso of an individual to be monitored.
- the garment may comprise a turtle-neck long-sleeved garment 31 including portions covering the pelvic region and upper thighs.
- the garment in a further embodiment may comprise sleeveless shirt 31a shown in Fig. 4 , which does not include the sensors 25.
- the garment may also be made without the leg portions shown in Fig.
- Monitoring garment 30 further includes electrocardiographic electrode sensors 26 that may be sewn, embedded, or fixed with adhesive or the like to the inside of the rear face of the garment 31. Alternatively, the electracardiographic electrode sensors 26 may be directly affixed to the individual to be monitored.
- the garment 31 may be fastened snugly onto the body using fastening devices 32 such, for example, as velcro strips or ties 16 (see Figs. 2 and 3 ).
- the garment may comprise a shirt without fastening devices as in Fig. 4 .
- the sensors 20-25 may include an elastic material portion for holding them in place on the individual's torso.
- Microprocessor unit 33 comprises, in one embodiment, an oscillator-demodulator (see below) unit for the inductive plethysmographic sensors 20-25, and either has multiplex capabilities or takes the form of a similarity of separate oscillator modules tuned to respectively different frequencies for eliminating cross-talk between the various sensors 20-25.
- Oscillator modules 20a-24a may also be attached directly to respective inductive plethysmographic sensors 20-24 (see Fig. 4 ).
- the oscillator modules may be located directly in the microprocessor unit 33.
- the microprocessor unit is shown attached to a side of the garment at the waist of the individual to be monitored; it may, however, alternately be attached or carried in any comfortable position or location on or about the body of the individual.
- microprocessor unit 33 comprises a recording/alarm unit which collects the monitored signals from the sensors 20-26. Furthermore, microprocessor unit 33 includes a processor for, inter alia, determining alarm conditions and providing data logging functions, Microprocessor unit 33 may also include an output device 45 such, for example, as a sound system optionally with a visual display, for providing alarms and action recommendations to the individual and/or healthcare provider in a preferably area. In an embodiment, the sound system provides these alarms and action recommendations as plainspoken audible statements.
- the output device 45 may be a display unit such as a monitor screen that displays the messages.
- a display unit such as a monitor screen that displays the messages.
- This alternative may for example be used when the individual to be monitored is deaf or hard of hearing, or where the message contains a great deal of information which may be difficult to comprehend or appreciate when merely listening to an audible message.
- microprocessor unit 33 may include or activate a signaling device such as a illuminitable lamp for informing the individual being monitored that there is a new message. Since microprocessor unit 33 is mounted on the monitoring garment 30, the signaling device may also when activated effect a vibration of the microprocessor unit 33 which will be felt by the individual being monitored.
- Microprocessor unit 33 may be built to include a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) such as a HandSpring or Palm Pilot or any mobile device capable of wireless communication.
- PDA Personal Digital Assistant
- electrodes 20-26 are wired to an electronic module which may be plugged into the microprocessor unit 33.
- the module uses the processor of the microprocessor unit to perform monitoring, alarming and data logging functions.
- the monitored signals may be compared to default values to ensure that they are within an acceptable range. If the monitored signal exceeds or falls below the acceptable range of values, the alarm function alerts the individual.
- the microprocessor unit may further include input capabilities so that the individual can input information such as symptoms, activities, medications that have been taken, and mood. These input capabilities may be menu driven such that the individual merely selects from a list. Alternatively, the individual may input his symptoms by typing on a keyboard or writing on a touch sensitive screen.
- the microprocessor unit 33 may also be connected or linked to a receiving unit 34 located at a separate or remote site that is attended by health care providers for transmitting the data received from the monitoring garment 30, and associated alarms and/or messages, to receiving unit 34 so that the health care providers at the remote site may view and analyze the data. Furthermore, the individual may then use the input capabilities to inform the health care professional regarding the symptoms, activities, medications, and mood.
- the transmission to the remote site may be made via a modem, Internet connection, satellite hookup, cable, or any other communication system or arrangement, such a standard wireless telephone networks.
- the connection between microprocessor unit 33 and receiving unit 34 may also allow health care providers at the remote site to return information to the microprocessor 33. For example, the health care providers may wish to provide specific instructions to the individual being monitored.
- the PDA may log the data received from the monitoring garment 30 to a local or remote database for tracking the condition of the individual and for comparison to other individuals. This enables continued modification and refinement of the diagnostic algorithm in the module or the microprocessor unit 33 and transmission of action recommendations from the receiving unit 34 to the microprocessor unit.
- the monitoring garment 30 or 30a may transmit data to the receiving unit at a rate ranging from approximately 1-1000 points/second (depending on the available sensors), Optionally, a one minute trend numerical value reduced from data processed waveforms is transmitted every five to ten minutes in which case the monitoring garment may transmit data at the rate ranging from approximately 1-1000 points/second only when an adverse or preprogrammed event occurs to thereby conserve the batteries powering the microprocessor unit 33 on the monitoring garment.
- a neck inductive plethysmographic sensor 24 is sewn, embroidered, or embedded, for example, to the area of garment 31 or 31 a.
- Sensor 24 monitors jugular venous pulse, carotid arterial pulse, intrapleural pressure swings related to respiration, contraction of neck muscles, and swallowing deflections. Estimations of the central venous pressure from the data collected by sensor 24 compares well to values simultaneous recorded using intravascular catheters.
- the jugular venous pulse depicts an 'a' wave related to atrial contraction, which is a substitute for the 'P' wave of the electrocardiogram
- data from sensor 24 may aid in differentiating arrythmias and supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant ventricular conduction from ventricular tachycardia.
- the recording of the arterial pulse in conjunction with an electrocardiograph allows computation of the systolic time intervals which may be used for estimating the mechanical function of the left ventricle.
- Sensor 24 may also record swallowing deflections as sharp, transient waveforms superimposed upon slower respiratory deflections and vascular pulse,
- An abdominal plethysmographic sensor 20 and a rib cage plethysmographic sensor 21 are sewn, embroidered, or embedded, for example, in the abdominal and rib cage portions of garment 31 or 31a for monitoring the expansion and contraction of the abdomen and rib cage, respectively.
- Sensors 20 and 21, used together, are referred to as a respiratory inductive plethysmograph and are employed for recording breathing patterns.
- a thoracic inductive plethysmograph sensor 22 is sewn, embroidered, or embedded, for example, into garment 31 or 31 a around the xiphoid process region.
- Sensor 22 may be formed of one or more plethysmographic coil-type sensors and operatively monitors the beat by beat ventricular volume during breath holding and during slow breathing.
- Analysis of the resulting waveforms by the microprocessor unit recording/alarm unit 40 enables computation of changes in cardiac output and stroke volume and of parameters related to systolic and diastolic function.
- Analysis of a derivative of the ventricular waveforms yields parameters analogous to Eclia-Doppler measurements of the mitral valve.
- the deceleration time of the mitral flow velocity parameter can provide an estimate of pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in individuals with compromised left ventricular function. Longer deceleration times are consistent with normal and shorter times with elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressures.
- Two hemithoracic inductive plethysmographic sensors 23 are sewn, embroidered, or embedded, for example, into garment 31 or 31 a on the right and left sides of the upper thorax. These sensors 23 enable measurement of inequalities in regional expansion with breathing and paradoxical motion between the two homithoraces. Such inequalities suggest pleural effusion, diaphragmatic hemiparesis, or pneumothorax and may aid in diagnosis of certain clinical circumstances.
- Limb inductive plethysmographic sensors 25 are sewn, embroidered, or embedded, for example, at the elbow and wrist areas of the garment 31. Sensors 25 record vascular pulses over the vessels of the limb or extremity about which it is placed. Sensors 25 may be used to record peripheral blood flow using standard plethysmographic occlusion techniques, pulse transit time by using a pair of separated sensors 25 on the extremity, or pulse transit time from arterial pulse in the neck to the extremity, Sensors 25 may also provide wide-band external pulse recording of systematic blood pressure during cuff deflation.
- monitoring garment 30 further includes electrocardiogram (ECG) electrode sensors 26 ( Fig. 3 ), As stated above, the ECG electrode sensor may be mounted on the monitoring garment 30 or, alternatively, may be directly applied to the individuals body and connected to the PDA 33 via a wire.
- ECG electrocardiogram
- RR intervals of the ECG measurements from sensors 26 and the tidal breath waveform from the respiratory inductive plethysmographic sensors 20 and 21 as described above may be used to determine respiratory sinus arrhythmia which is a measure of autonomic nervous system function. High values of this measure signify predominant parasympathetic nervous system activity and low values predominant sympathetic nervous system activity.
- a body position sensor 27 may also be sewn, embroidered, or embedded, for example, in garment 31 or 31 a to indicate the individual's posture.
- Body position sensor 27 may comprise one or more standard available accelerometers.
- pulse oximeter sensor 28 may also be used in conjunction with the monitoring garment 30 or 30a. Pulse oximeter sensor 28 is generally placed at a distal fingertip of the individual or subject to measure arterial oxygen saturation and body movements. Although pulse oximeter 28 need not be carried on or as a direct component of the monitoring garment 30, detected information from oximeter 28 may be treated in a manner similar to data from sensors 20-26 by microprocessor unit 33. True values of arterial oxygen saturation are thereby distinguishable from values affected by motion artifacts using appropriate software algorithms.
- the recording/alarm functions of the microprocessor unit 33 operatively provides, by way of illustrative example, the following functionality:
- the recording/alarm function may monitor the individual for effectiveness and proper functioning of assisted ventilatory and continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) devices.
- CPAP continuous positive air pressure
- the recording/alarm function also logs data into a database as physiologic waveforms for one-minute numerical trends which may be transmitted to the remote receiving unit 34 automatically or upon receipt of a request for review by the provider at the remote receiving unit 34.
- garment 31 may comprise any combination of sleeves, turtle neck, and leggings as required by the specific condition of the individual. For example, if an individual has asthma, pertinent parameters such as respiratory drive/ventilation (peak inspiratory flow/ventilation and/or peak inspiratory acceleration/ventilation) should be monitored closely as non-invasive parameters of increasing bronchospasm above a predetermined threshold.
- This measure will be utilized to provide directions to the monitored individual via output device 45, such for example, as "you have signs of bronchospasm; please take your aerosol medication now!If aerosol medication is taken correctly and the proper breath holding pattern is observed by the microprocessor unit 33, then output device may state, "aerosol taken, good!” If after 30 minutes, there is no improvement or there is a worsening of specific measures and/or vital signs, the microprocessor unit 33 may state, "call your doctor immediately! or “get transportation and go immediately to the emergency room.”
- the deceleration time from the derivative of the left ventricular volume curve obtained with the thoracocardiograph, the central venous pressure and respiratory sinus arrhythmia should be closely monitored.
- the deceleration time has been found to be the most predictive parameter that hospital admission is needed for treatment of chronic heart failure.
- values below 125 msec were the threshold associated with required hospital admission. Thresholds may be programmed into microprocessor unit 33 that instructions are delivered to the individual being monitored before the 125 msec level is reached.
- microprocessor unit 33 may state, "take an additional diuretic tablet today at 5 PM.” If the deceleration time falls to 120 msec, the microprocessor unit may state, "call your physician immediately.”
- Central venous pressure reflects fluid balance in the body; low values indicate hypovolemia as might take place with overdosing with diuretics, and high values with increasing severity of heart failure. Thus, if CVP on one day is 8cm H 2 0 and the following day is 4 cm H 2 0, the microprocessor unit might state "call your doctor immediately for advice on your medications.”
- microprocessor unit 33 may state "take one capsule of #1 - or one capsule of verapamid nowl "
- Microprocessor unit 33 may also include input devices such as, for example, a bar code reader or other reader so that when the individual takes out a medication vial with a bar code, information from the bar code is passed to the optional bar code reader.
- the individual may enter information on the medications using a manual input device such as, for example, a keyboard or a simple array of buttons as stated above, By clicking or pressing one of the buttons, the individual being monitored manually updates the recording/alarm device to indicate compliance with the scheduled medicine.
- swallows may be logged from the neck inductive plethysmograph waveform, thereby suggesting compliance.
- the individual may pass the vial over the optical reader or activate a switch to create window timing marks in the data stream that can be analyzed and stored in microprocessor unit 33 and/or receiving unit 34.
- the physiologic parameters may also be programmed for monitoring effectiveness based upon CPAP or BiPAP ventilatory requirements.
- Nocturnal CPAP and BiPAP are often used for treatment of the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, which is marked by apneas and increases in upper airway inspiratory resistance.
- the ratio of peak inspiratory flow to mean inspiratory flow (PIF/MIF), derived from the tidal volume waveform of the respiratory inductive plethysmograph 20 and 21, provides a numerical value for the shape of the inspiratory flow curve.
- the inspiratory flow waveform becomes flattened and approaches a PIF/MIF value of 1.0.
- Significant flattening begins with a threshold value at or below 1.3.
- inspiratory obstruction is marked by a brief prominent spike near beginning inspiration that gives PIF/MIF values of approximately 1.85 or greater. Therefore, optimum CPAP should provide values ranging from 1.3 to 1.85.
- PIF/MF is found to be equivalent to 1.2 for a predetermined period of time, then the recording/alarm unit may deliver a message to the individual or to the personal health care provider, with increasing decibels of sound until the problem is corrected, stating "increase CPAP 3 cm water pressure now". Algorithms have been described for automatic adjustment of the level of CPAP pressure based upon indices related to the shape of the inspiratory flow curve.
- CPAP Since CPAP is generally administered using a nasal mask, it is subject to leaks, particularly at the mask-skin interface. Leaks can be discerned by the recording/alarm unit 34 by comparing the tidal volumes between the values delivered from the CPAP apparatus and those received by the individual. The latter is obtained with respiratory inductive plethysmography using the sensors 20 and 21.
- the inspiratory volume per breath from respiratory inductive plethysmography sensors 20 and 21 was found to be 200 ml and the volume delivered by the CPAP device is 500 ml, then a leak in the CPAP system of 300 mi is indicated and the recording/alarm unit may state "wake up and adjust your mask, it is leaking.”
- Mask leaks are also a problem in administering ventilatory support to individuals with respiratory failure or respiratory muscle weakness. Monitoring of volumes delivered versus volumes received is effective in diagnosing such leaks.
- the present invention includes several possible distributions of electronic circuitry between electronic modules carried on garment 1, which are associated with sensors on this garment, and unit 3.
- Fig. 5 illustrates options for the physical distribution of circuitry, primarily circuitry for processing inductive plethysmographic signals.
- garment 1 includes inductive plethysmographic sensor bands 4, 5, and 6 which are connected to microprocessor unit 3 by primary signal cable 2.
- Fig. 5 principally illustrates electronic modules 42, 43, and 44 connected as at 45, to the flexible conductors in the sensor bands, and physically close to the sensors.
- these modules may support connectors for bridging the conductive loops across the garment division.
- flap 18 which is here illustrated as opened, for example when a monitored individual is in the process of "wiring-up" during dressing (or undressing).
- This flap may be held normally closed by, for example, velcro strips.
- fastener 41 (partially hidden by the extension of signal cable 2), such as a zipper, which facilitates dressing by opening the garment.
- flexible inductive plethysmographic conductors may plug and unplug into the local modules.
- the ECG leads may be permanently attached, or they may also plug and unplug from the modules.
- the local electronics modules optionally contain circuitry for initial processing of the inductive plethysmographic signals, while circuitry for final processing is carried in unit 3. These modules may also contain initial processing circuitry for other sensors.
- modules 42 and 43 may contain ECG circuitry, perhaps simply analog pre-amplification and filtering or perhaps also A/D conversion.
- these electronics modules are permanently attached to the signal cable to minimize the number of parts to be handled during wiring up.
- these modules may be retained in pockets in the monitoring garment, and plugged and unplugged from the signal cable during wiring up.
- Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate possible functional distributions of electronic circuitry for processing the plethysmographic signals.
- the functions of the osc (oscillator) block(s), the demod (demodulator) block(s) and the microp (microprocessor) block are substantially the same and will be described once with respect to Fig. 6A .
- First illustrated are three conductive loops coupled to a single or to individual oscillators.
- the oscillators are LC oscillators with a frequency responsive to variations in the loop inductance, and may be of any type known in the art. They preferably are of very low drift due to temperature and other compensations.
- the loops are coupled to the oscillator(s) through an impedance step-up transformer which steps-up the loop impedance so that reasonable values of capacitor C (for example, greater than 1,000 pf) may be used leading to stable oscillator function.
- the impedance step-up also multiplies loop-inductance variations leading to a greater signal range.
- the transformer provides an uninterrupted loop circuit isolated from the powered electronic circuitry. This isolation improves individual safety. Loop isolation is also improved by slightly offsetting the resonant frequency of each loop, for example, by 10 to 50 kHz. Finally, it has been found important that the total loop resistance by low, no more than approximately 1 ⁇ , to achieve a high Q factor.
- the demod blocks demodulate the variable frequency oscillator signal in the sense that they measure the frequency and provide digital data to the microp block. Their function is further described with reference to Fig. 7 .
- the microp block includes a microprocessor programmed to perform, inter alia, the functions described above including the basic data entry, storage, and communication function.
- This block may be based on a commercially available PDA-like device, or may be custom designed. In either case, it will be understood to include a microprocessor and supporting components, typically including RAM and ROM memory, a display interface, user input-output interfaces, a communications interface or an interface to removable media, and so forth.
- the memories will be loaded with programs translated from any convenient programming language.
- Fig. 6A illustrates an embodiment with a single instance of all functional blocks switched between and shared by the three inductive plethysmographic loops
- local modules 42,43, and 44 would include little more than connectors from the conductive loops for bridging any division in the garment and to signal leads to the electronic functional blocks housed in unit 3.
- the entire path between and including the conductive loops and the step-up transformer in the osc block preferably has a resistance of less than 1 ⁇ . Therefore, the switch SW is preferably a low resistance controllable switch for analog radio-frequency signals.
- Such a switch is currently available from Dallas Semiconductor/Maxim. Where such a switch is available a low cost, Fig.
- the conductors from the conductive loops to unit 3 should have a substantially small, fixed inductance to avoid adding artifacts to the inductance signals of interest.
- these conductors are from small gauge coaxial cable.
- Fig. 6B illustrates an embodiment in which single demod and microp blocks are shared between three inductive plethysmographic loops, each loop having a dedicated oscillator.
- the oscillators have digitized variable frequency output (e.g., a variable frequency square wave), and switch SW may be a standard controllable digital switch.
- local modules include the osc blocks, Fig. 6B is a preferred embodiment.
- Fig. 6C illustrates a third embodiment in which only the micro block is shared and in which the local modules include both the osc and the demod blocks. This is the currently less preferred embodiment, but may be more advantageous where the osc and demod blocks can be implemented on a single mixed-type integrated circuit (IC).
- IC integrated circuit
- the demod block is a frequency counter which samples a digitized variable frequency input of from 200 to 400 kHz, and produces a digital frequency output accurate to at least 10 ppm (more preferably to 5 ppm, and even more preferably to 1 ppm).
- the output is preferably 24 bits or more. While any such frequency counter may be used in the present invention, Fig. 7 illustrates a particular such counter that can be economically implemented as a single programmed logic array IC.
- Fig, 7 illustrates only two inductive plethysmographic loops, each with a dedicated osc block, OSC 1 and OSC 2, respectively.
- the digitized oscillator output is sampled by controllable switch SW and directed to the demod block components.
- Also input to the demod block is a 96 MHz clock signal.
- Other, preferably higher clock frequencies may be used, 96 MHz being merely a convenient frequency less that the about 120 MHz which the 80 ns logic in the current implementation is capable.
- OSC SEL oscillator select block
- the 2 kHz clock provides for a convenient sampling period, other sampling clock rates could be used.
- the microprocessor (MICRO-PROC) is also interrupted (IRQ lead) at the 2 kHz clock rate to accept the output digital data through a bus buffer and multiplexer (BUS MUX BUFFER), calculate the frequency from the accepted data, and optionally average two or more successive frequence measurements to determine frequencies in sample periods that are multiples of 0.5 ms, such as 2.5 ms, Finally, the 2 kHz clock is applied to counter accumulator, and latch components (at the latch and reset, R, inputs) of the demod block to reset this circuitry for the next period of frequency measurement.
- the circuit of Fig. 7 operates by counting the number of 96 MHz clock pulses that occur in the number of oscillator periods that occur in a particular 0.5 ms sampling interval (or sampling interval of other length).
- the components in oval 60 count the oscillator periods in a sampling interval.
- the OSC CNT block is an 8 bit digital counter that counts the 200-400 kHz oscillator periods in the sampling interval, this count being latched into the OSC CNT LATCH and the counter reset every 0.5 ms. This eight bit count is supplied to the microprocessor through the BUS MUX BUFFER.
- the components in oval 61 count the number of 96 MHz clock periods that occur in the counted number of oscillator periods.
- the TIMER CNT block is a 16 bit digital counter that counts clock periods, Since this count is latched into the TIMER CNT ACCUM block only on the occurrence of oscillator pulses applied to this block by lead 62, this accumulator block only contains counts of clock pulses within completed oscillator periods. At the end of a sampling period, the 16 bit count is latched into the TIMER LATCH, the counters are reset, and the 16 bit count is made available to the microprocessor through the BUS MUX BUFFER.
- Fig. 7 hold circuitry, which prevents any activity for the first few (2-4) oscillator periods. This permits both accurate starting of the clock count as well as provides for circuit stabilization.
- the MZCRO-PROC divides the 8 bit oscillator period count by the 16 bit clock period count to obtain a 24 bit measured oscillator frequency. Note that it is oscillator period (the inverse of frequency) which varies directly with changes in cross sectional area as measured by the inductive loop.
- the demod block of Fig. 7 has a random error of one-half of a 96 MHz clock period, or 5.2 ns, during every 0.5 ms sampling interval. This is a less than 10 ppm error that may be reduced by averaging; for example, averaging for 2.5 ms results in a less than approximately 2 ppm error.
- the demod block of Fig. 7 achieves the accuracy required for inductive plethysmography.
- the demod merely counted the number of oscillator cycles within a 0.5 ms sampling interval, then the random error would be one-half of an approximately 300 kHz period, or 1.67 ⁇ s every 0.5 ms, of about 3300 ppm. Such inaccuracies would totally hide both respiratory and cardiac inductive plethysmographic signals, which at most have an amplitude to 1000 ppm.
- Fig. 10 illustrates overall methods of operation of a system according to the present invention incorporating a monitoring apparatus according to the present invention.
- monitored individual 80 is illustrated as wearing a monitoring garment and holding (for data entry) a microprocessor unit (collectively, monitoring apparatus) according to preferred embodiments of the present invention,
- the microprocessor unit may generate information and alarms directly to the monitored individual.
- all data collected by the monitoring apparatus including all raw data, is stored at a repository.
- Central repository 91 which is usually remote from the monitored individual, may store the date from many monitored individuals in server-type computer systems 86 equipped with database facilities. Monitored individuals may transmit data either by means of removable storage media 81 a (such as a flash memory module) or by wireless transmission 81b,or by both means for different quantities and types of data,
- data may be stored at local repository 92 after transmission by local wireless transmission 82.
- Removable media may also be used locally.
- the local repository may be a PC-type computer with adequate storage, preferably hard disks of at least 10 GB capacity. Further the local repository may transmit 83 stored data periodically to central repository 91 (if present).
- Users of this system include monitored individual 80, who enters data on, e.g., activities and symptoms into the microprocessor unit, and may receive medical reminders or alarms warning of conditions needing attention.
- Another type of user may be local health care professionals 85. These users may receive patient information (and transmit patient information and instructions) through local repository system 84. Local professionals may also receive information 93 from central health care professionals 90 by several means, such as telephone, e-mail, pager, and so forth. This information may provide patient status summaries or specific diagnostic and therapeutic guidance to the local professionals
- System users associated with the central repository include one or more central professionals 90, who advantageously access the system through local computers or terminals 89 in communication with server system 86.
- the central professionals oversee the medical status of all monitored individuals whose data is stored at that central repository.
- the servers systems may be provided with display programs designed to conveniently survey the monitored population, and also with diagnostic or therapeutic programs which provide specific medical guidance perhaps by employing artificial intelligence techniques.
- monitoring users 88 are associated with central repository 91, which they access by local computers or terminals 87. These users oversee the technical operations of the monitoring apparatus of the monitored population, the operation of system computers and communications, and processing programs and resolve any problems. Monitoring users may also provide assistance to other system users in response to messages by telephone, e-mail, or other means. Further, monitoring users may perform important quality control functions by overseeing the substantive function of the system of this invention. Quality control may include ensuring that the system correctly monitors physiological parameters, correctly displays and interprets monitored parameters to the various system users, and is in compliance with all regulatory requirements and guidance.
- Additional plethysmographic sensors may be incorporated in the monitoring apparatus of this invention.
- the data gathered by existing sensors can be augmented with additional sensors. For example, by adding one or more thoracic sensor bands superior to the already described cardiac band positioned at the level of the xiphoid process further information about cardiac function may be obtained.
- a sensor of a lower-abdominal cross-sectional area may be used to detect uterine contractions indicating the onset of labor in a pregnant female. Also, such a lower abdominal sensor may detect the present of intestinal gas and flatus.
- An inductive plethysmographic sensor of a mid-abdominal cross-section may monitor general intestinal activity. For example, absence of cross-sectional area variations may indicate a "silent abdomen," which is often a surgical emergency. Such monitoring may be advantageous in patients recovering from abdominal surgery.
- particular monitoring tasks may require higher accuracies or rates, or may permit reduced accuracies or rates.
- Appropriate accuracies and rates may be easily determined by one of skill in the art in view of the monitoring task and the associated circuitry may be modified. For example, higher accuracies may be achieved by a demodulator circuit with higher clock frequencies or longer sampling intervals.
- a garment may be "prescribed" for an individual according to his medical condition. Such a prescribed garment would have more or fewer sensors so that only signals bearing on physiological parameters of interest are obtained and stored.
- a shirt-like garment may be constructed with a larger number of inductive plethysmographic sensor bands, for example, 10, or 20, or 30, or more bands, which are substantially uniformly distributed long the vertical axis of the torso. Signals from these bands may be multiplexed into a smaller number of local electronic modules, which communicate with a microprocessor unit (or computer system) sufficiently capable to handle the increased data rate.
- a microprocessor unit or computer system
- This larger number of signals may have several uses. First, they may be used for research in developing sensor bands for detecting additional physiologic parameters, or for detecting current parameters with increased reliability for individual difficult to monitor because of activity or body habitus. Second, the can be used in selecting a cut and arrangement of a monitoring garment for particular individuals. An individual may wear a multi-band garment for a short time, and the associated processing unit may determine which bands are best at detecting desired physiological parameters. A final garment may then be tailored with a cut, fit, and sensor band location best suited for that individual. This may replace garments fit to be adequate for a range of individuals, though ideal perhaps few or none. Third, a multi-band garment may be worn for regular monitoring, the few actual bands from which data is stored and communicated being selected in real time by the associated microprocessor unit as those with the best signals.
- radio frequency (RF) circuitry and protocols it may be advantageous to replace at least the primary signal cable by wireless transmission between the inductive plethysmographic sensors and the microprocessor unit.
- all data cables may be eliminated. This is advantageous to simplify use of the monitoring apparatus, with the monitoring garment, for a monitored individual.
- Figs. 8A-B illustrate two principal (and exemplary) embodiments for such local wireless transmission.
- the osc, demod, and microp blocks have the similar meanings to these blocks in Figs. 6A-C.
- the xmtr block is a RF transmitter; the rcvr block is an RF receiver; and arrows 70 represent wireless transmission between the xmtr and the revr between the monitoring garment and its microprocessor unit.
- the transmissions are of very low power in an un-licensed band, for example, the bands near 900 MHz or 2.4 Ghz.
- the xmtr and rcvr blocks be implemented at least of single ICs, if not in a higher form of integration embedded in other ICs.
- the digitized, 200-400 kHz output of the oscillators is transmitted from the modules associated with the plethysmographic sensors to the microprocessor unit.
- a carrier-type timing signal be transmitted so that the xmtr and rcvr may be in phase lock. Circuitry similar to that used in portable phones may be employed.
- Fig. 8B 8 and 16 bit digital words are transmitted from the sensors.
- Such digital transmission is advantageously by means of evolving standards and products for local digital transmission, such as the standard being developed by the Bluetooth consortium.
- Microp1 may losslessly compress the digital data to reduce wireless data rates and power requirement; microp2 then decompresses the received data. Compression may be as simple as subtraction of the oscillator 200-400kHz base frequency along with the transmission of runs of successive differences. Other compression techniques may be used.
- Multiplexing of the RF transmission may be by frequency division, time division, or other multiplexing means known in the art,
